Apple has released a trailer for Season 4 of the utterly brilliant, Emmy Award-nominated and BAFTA Award-winning ‘Slow Horses‘ starring Academy Award winner Gary Oldman, which premieres this September on Apple TV+.
Adapted from “Spook Street,” the fourth novel in Mick Herron’s CWA Gold Dagger Award-winning spy series “Slough House,” the six-episode fourth season of “Slow Horses” will premiere globally on Wednesday, September 4, with the first episode, followed by one new episode weekly every Wednesday through October 9 on Apple TV+.
‘Slow Horses’ is a darkly humorous espionage drama that follows a dysfunctional team of British intelligence agents who serve in a dumping ground department of MI5 known un-affectionately as Slough House. Season four opens with a bombing that detonates personal secrets, rocking the already unstable foundations of Slough House. The six-episode fourth season is adapted from “Spook Street,” the fourth novel in Mick Herron’s CWA Gold Dagger Award-winning spy series “Slough House.”
Oldman stars as Jackson Lamb, the brilliant but misanthropic leader of the spies, who end up in Slough House due to their career-ending mistakes as they frequently find themselves blundering around the smoke and mirrors of the espionage world. The returning ensemble cast also includes Academy Award nominee Kristin Scott Thomas, BAFTA Scotland Award winner Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Kadiff Kirwan and Academy Award nominee Jonathan Pryce. SAG Award winner Hugo Weaving, BAFTA Award winner Joanna Scanlan, IFTA Award winner Ruth Bradley, Tom Brooke and James Callis join ‘Slow Horses’ in season four.
The show continues to receive praise and accolades heading into its fourth season. ‘Slow Horses’ recently scored nine Emmy Award nominations for its widely acclaimed third season, including Outstanding Drama Series and acting nominations for Oldman (Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series), Jack Lowden (Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series) and Jonathan Pryce (Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series). The series also earned nominations in the following categories: Outstanding Casting for a Drama Series, Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series, Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series, Outstanding Picture Editing for a Drama Series, and Outstanding Music Composition for a Series (Original Dramatic Score). Since its premiere in 2022, ‘Slow Horses’ has won two BAFTA Television Awards while earning nine additional nominations.
Fans can catch up on the first three seasons, which all hold a Certified Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes, on Apple TV+. Additionally, Apple TV+ previously announced a fifth season set to be adapted from the fifth novel, “London Rules.”
‘Slow Horses’ is produced for Apple TV+ by See-Saw Films and adapted for television by Will Smith (“Veep”). Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta, Iain Canning, Emile Sherman, Jane Robertson, Julian Stevens, Douglas Urbanski, Gail Mutrux, Graham Yost and Smith serve as executive producers on the series. Season four is directed by Adam Randall.
‘Slow Horses‘ Season 4 premieres Wednesday, 4th September 2024 with the first two episodes, followed by one new episode weekly on Apple TV+.
